DEMOCRATS START DRIVE FOR COUNTY Montgomery Leaders Form First Smith Club and Plan Hard Work. &pecial Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 15.— Marking the beginning of what was declared would be one of the most vigorous campaigns ever conducted by Montgomery County Democrats, a joint meeting of the Democratic State central committee for the county and the re- cently appointed Democratic county advisory committee of 55 was held in the Opera House here last evening. It was conducted by Robert G. Hilton, chairman of the State central commit- tee, and was attended by virtually all members of the two committees and a number of other leading members of the party who were present by special invitation. A large number of short addresses were made, in which the speakers manifested enthusiasm for and pledged their best efforts in behalf of the entire ticket. Victory Seen in Hard Work. Although reports from the various districts were to the effect that the condition of the party in the county was fairly satisfactory, several bad &pots were pointed out and the necessity of hard work both through organiza- tions and individuals was stressed. The consensus seemed to be that with the right kind of work the county could be relied upon to give the Democratic presidential, senatorial and congressional candidates substantial majorities. The formation of Smith clubs in wvarious parts of the county was one of the principal matters considered, and the meeting started the ball rolling by organizing the Montgomery County Smith Club. George M. Hunter, presi- dent of the Montgomery County Na- tional Bank of Rockville, was made president; Robert G. Hilton, president of the Farmers’ Banking & Trust Co. of Rockville, vice president; State's Attorney Robert Peter, jr. secretary, and Josiah W. Jones, president of the Montgomery County Farm Bureau, treasurer. The county-wide organisation was authorized to take the necessary steps to organize clubs wherever in the county the local party leaders deemed advisable, and the understanding was that work along that line would be started at once. Registration Is Discussed. ‘The question of registration was dis< cussed and Maj. E. Brooke Lee, recog- nized leader of the party in the county, urged the workers to leave nothing un- done along that line and to see that all members of the party eligible to register and not already on the books are en- Yolled at the sittings of the officers of registration on October 2 and 9. He stated that necessary information would be provided for the guidance of the workers. ‘The State central committee is com- osed of Robert G. Hilton, chairman; erry E. Clark, secretary-treasurer; Lewis P. Allnut, Mrs. W. Ernest Offutt, Miss Ruth E. Shoemaker, Lloyd J., Jones. The advisory committee, selected by the State central committee of Mary- land to assist the State central commit- tee for the county in running the cam- aign, consists of Dr. Jacob W. Bird, ory H.

SMITH LEAVES ON'TRIP TOMORROW Finishes Business at Albany for Speechmaking Through 13 Western States. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., September 15.— Nearly a quarter of a century of active participation in politics of his native State of New York was but a pano- rama of bygone events for Gov. ith today as he swung into the last ‘week end prior to his departure for the West on his first speaking tour as a presidential candidate. ‘The duties of the four-time chief executive of New York practically at an end, from now until election day.

After remaining up late last night at the executive mansion, where he and Mrs. Smith had as their guests 16 newspaper men for a showing of motion pictures depicting family scenes of recent years, and the nominee at various events before and since his nomination at Houston, the governor set out today for the golf links for perhaps his last game in many weeks. Two close friends, James J. Riordan of New York and William H. Todd, the shipbuilder, came to Albany to make up a foursome, ' with the governor and Riordan opposing Todd and Alfred Smith, jr.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 15.—E. A. Purdy, investment banker of Minne- apolis and member of the Democratic national advisory committee, said yes- terday that Gov. Smith had “an even chance in the Dakotas, better than an even chance 1n Minnesota and was & sure winner in Wisconsin. Mr. Purdy, a caller at national head- quarters, recently made a business trip through the ninth Federal reserve dis- | Newton, trict. “It looks like a revolt among the farmers out there that nothing will stop,” he told reporters. “Our job is to crystalize that reyolt for Smith.” Mr. Purdy said he believed the gov- ernor’s Eresence in the Northwest on his forthcoming campaign trip would “swing the tide.” The religious issue, he reported, had eounted against Smith, but was begin- ning to fade because “the predominant grievance of the farmer in the North- West is an economic grievance.” ‘The governor’s prohibition stand had also affected his candidacy adversely in that territory at first, the banker said, but the cardidate’s assertion in his ac- ceptance speech that he was opposed to the return of the saloon had caused a change of attitude. ‘The women of the Northwest, Mr. Purdy believed, were particularly inter- ested In Smith.

ROBINSON CARRIES ~ FIGHT TO FLORIDA Will Continue Drive Against Those Who Oppose Smith on Religious Issue. By the Associated Press. ROBINSON SPECIAL CAR, EN ROUTE TO JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 15.—The Democratic stand- ard was carried today by Senator Joe Robinson to the most southern of the Atlantic Seaboard States which for year after year have adhered to the political creed of Jefferson and Jack- son. ‘Turning from Georgia for a few days, the Democratic vice presidential nomi- nee moved on Florida prepared to con- tinue his attack upon those who are opposing Gov. Smith because of his membership in the Catholic Church. He will speak tonight at Jacksonville, and then, after resting up in Miami on Sunday, will deliver an address in that city Monday night. As has been the case all the way down the coast, Mr. Robinson, in Sa- vannah, after the reading of a pre- pared speech denouncing the Repub- lican record in Washington had been concluded, turned again to the religious issue. While his audience, many with coats off, fanned mostly with newspapers and hats, the Senator last night declared it was his opinion that the religious issue was responsible for what opposi- to_the Democratic standard bearer. Referring to the charge that Gov. Smith had been intoxicated at a recent State fair in Syracuse, N. Y., the Sen- ator read a denial of the charge carried in the press two days ago from George R. Frearon, a Republican member of the New York General Assembly. “I wish every man, woman and child in the country,” he said, “would adopt the example set by this Republican for honest dealing with political opponents.” Attacking as what he describes as the “whispering campaign,” he added that a report had reached him that some- body in Georgia had vouched the state- ment that he had left the Methodist Church. - “The Methodist Church might quit me,” he continued, “but I'll never for- sake he \ Senator Fletcher and Others to Greet Robinson.

P., SAYS UNDERWOOD Former Senator, in Address at Fairfax Fair, Calls Order Hoover's “Left Wing.” N()'FABLBS GATHER. By the Assoclated Press. ALEXANDRIA, Va. September 15.— Former Senator Underwood of Alabama last night declared the Ku Klux Klan to be the “left wing” of the Hoover campaign. Speaking at the Fairfax County fair, where today and tonight the Klan will meet to observe Klan day at the fair, Underwood struck out at the organiza- tion as he did four years age. As a whole, although there was some muttered dissent, the crowd of about 1,000 responded enthusiastically as he denounced religious intolersnce and the participation of the church in politics. | Hoover was described y the former Senator as the candidate of “organized wealth,” and asserting that he is a multimillionaire, Tnderwood declared he is even the 7irst millionaire ever to be offered as a presidential candidate by either party. Asserting that it was absolutely nec- essary that the Government and church be kept separated, the former Senator declared that it is for the church to live in the “ideals of the future,” and when a man “gives his heart and soul te the ideals of the future it is practically im- possible for him to deal intelligently with matters affecting the every day problems of the people.” DORAN LOSES FAITH | IN “STOOL PIGEONS” Has Been Lessening Work and!

(2ad floor) M. 3211 re e By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y, September 15— presidential candidate’s wardrobe is being assembled in Albany this week preparatory to the departure of a spe- cial campaign train tomorrow. First came the brown derbies, coples of the one that Gov. Alfred E. Smith made famous during his early days in State politics when he was one of the young bloods who, 20 years ago, glee- fully adopted tte brown derby rage. And now come suspenders to com- plete the nominee’s outfit with which he hopes to impress residents of the Middle West. He exhibited two trick suspenders that had been contributed to his sar- torial cause by a friend who had seen a picture of the nominee without his coat and with suspenders in full dis- play. Explains Suspenders. “That picture was taken one awfully hot day when Senator Joe Robinson had come up here on his way to New York,” explained the governor. “We all went out to the back yard of the mansion to see the menagerie and be- cause of the heat we all took our coats off. The camera man found us and took the picture. It was printed pretty widely and a few days later somebody sent me one of these, saying he was glad to see I wore them. So all you people have to do to’ get some good- looking suspenders like these is to have your picture taken.” The governor fondled with evident rclish the silken elastic of the black- and-white stripe, and then stretched them critically, determining the play they would allow his arms when he gets into oratorical action. “Well, there is one thing I won't lose on this campaign trip,” said the gov- ernor as he carefully wrapped the gal- luses ready to be sent to the mansion to be included in the official baggage. _ The, governor spends considerable time ahd thought upon his clothes, and the color ensemble that he always af- fects has elicited a great deal of com- ment. Invariably when he wears a green shirt there is 'a harmonizing green necktie and a slight tab of a green handkerchief peeping from his breast pocket. Gubernatorial Ensemble. One of his favorite costumes is a rich brown suit with which he wears & raspberry-colored shirt, a maroon tie and a maroon handkerchief. The only discordant note is sometimes a white collar. The governor is frank in his ap- proval of stiff shirts, and his collection boasts several of different hues with Stiff bosoms. On formal occasions his taste in socks is conservative, but he often man- ages to get out a fling of color in footwear on days when he is pursuing only his routine business. When he displayed the flashy sus- penders he glanced apprehensively at parently a little dubious over this com- the plaid socks he was wearing, ap- bination of colors. DEMOGRATS RAISE EMPLOYMENT SSUE Declare Republicans Attempt " to Ignore Depression in Jobs. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 15.—Charges that the Republican administration has attempted to ignore the unemployment situation, minimize its importance and has failed to deal with it adequately, are contained in the Democratic national committee’s campaign book, another sec- tion of which was made public yes- terday. “Unemployment is the most impor- tant cause of poverty and destitution,” the book says. “Last Winter, while we were being assured by the administra- tion that our prosperity was unprece- dented, we werg overtaken by an un- employment criSis, * * * said to be the most serious since 1921. “This unemployment was partly due to the moderate business depression of last Winter and to marked slackness of chronically depressed industries, such as coal and textiles. All competent au- thorities agree it was in great part attributable to the rapid increase of pro- ductive efficiency, which has enabled in- dustry produce more with fewer workers. Estimates of the number un- *| employed, resting on admittedly inade- quate data, ranged from 2,000,000 to 6,000,000.” ‘The book asserts the data was inade- quate because the administration had not taken the measures to obtain curate figures on the subject. It criti- cizes the administration for not having followed the recommendations of the Harding Unemployment Conference of 1922 and for not keeping in touch with the situation. Tt estimates the number of unemployed in the crisis at about 4,000,000, or 10 per cent of the number in gainful occupations. i B L One-seventh of the children of Lon- don are still in school at the age of 15.

NEW YORK WOMAN T0 TALK ON SMITH Mrs. 0’Day Plans to Sing Governor’s Praises on Western Journey. | By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., September 15.—An | opportunity to tell the women of the West what the women of New York think of their governor is what Mrs. Daniel O'Day of Rye, vice chairman of the New York State Democratic com- mittee, asks. # Mrs. O'Day, who will be one of the three women to accompany Gov. Smith on his first trip making a bid for the presidency, has just completed a three- week survey tour of the State. “I feel that the women of the rest of the country ought to know how the women of our State feel about Gov. Smith, ought to learn of the legislation favoring women that he has been re- sponsible for, before they can cast an intelligent vote in the November elec- tion,” said Mrs. O'Day. Plans No Addresses. “Of course, I don't know yet just what I will do, but I do know that I will not talk at any of the large meet- ings. I think the women of the differ- ent cities where the governor will speak and where he will stay over for a day or so are planning receptions and dinners for Mrs. Smith, her daughter, Mrs. Warner, and me, and it is at such in- formal meetings as these that I hope to get right to the women and tell them tb= things I know.” Mrs. O'Day usually affects black or | somber colors for her costumes, but pays careful attention to the ensemble. Those in the party State organization admit that she is a visual as well as valuable political asset to the party. ‘The mail of a presidential nominee is so0 great that a small army of stenog- raphers and secretaries is necessary to sort and cull the letters, extracting those that are considered of sufficient im- portance to be taken to the attention of Gov. Smith. 600 to 1,000 Letters Daily. Asked if he had heard from a certain person, the governor said: “There are between 600 and 1,000 letters that come in every morning mail to this office. And on Mondays the pile usually in- creases to 1,500. That's after a dull Sunday, I guess, when people don’t have anything else to do but write to me.” The Democratic nominee continued the tale of his mail avalanche by tell- ing of Mrs. Smith’s return from New York. During her three-day stay in the greater city she went to the Bilt- more Hotel, where the governor and his family make their New York home. “I guess people think I nd most of my time down there,” | the gov- ernor, “because she came back here with a_valise slmpfi’ loaded with an accumulation of mail that was waiting down there. I haven’t been there for over two weeks and still they are send- ing the stuff there. Poker Players Held Up.
